Sit-On-Tops For Two: Feel Free Corona

This two seater actually has an option for a third, albeit small, person too. It's a great choice for families or couples looking for an affordable and stable, easy to carry, do-it-all flatwater kayak. It has several molded handles on each end and in the middle, so you always have a place to hold on to. Bungee paddle holders on both sides keep your extra paddle secure to the boat or allow you to be hands free when not paddling. The Corona also has two 8-inch-wide hatches to keep your extra gear dry, and two recessed wells under bungees in the bow and stern to store additional gear that you're willing to get a little wet. The carrying wheel built-in to the stern is a noteworthy perk too, allowing our testers to single-handedly haul it through both wet sand and gravel, easily. ($989, FeelFreeKayak.com) —Rob Casey
